Kwon Ji-an’s Humming Letter #99 is a striking exploration of rhythm, emotion, and texture—an expressive continuation of her acclaimed Humming Letter series. This large-scale painting is an invitation to experience color and movement in a deeply immersive way, translating the ephemeral nature of sound into a rich, layered composition.
A captivating blend of deep blues, vibrant magentas, and bursts of yellow unfolds across the canvas, creating a dynamic interplay of color and form. Kwon’s intuitive technique—applying paint directly with her hands—gives the work a raw, organic energy, where every movement is visible, and every mark holds intention. The thick impasto layers enhance the dimensionality of the piece, making it shift and transform depending on the viewer’s perspective and the surrounding light.
